ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
- You do not need to take any university entrance exam to apply to the university.
LIVING CONDITIONS IN MACEDONIA
Buses are the main means of transport in Macedonia. Unlike in other European countries, rail transport is not well developed, but you can travel easily by bus. Because Macedonia is a relatively small country, travel within and between cities is quite comfortable and easy. As in other Balkan cities, Macedonia has a variety of accommodation options that appeal to every budget. For example, in the capital Skopje, the main points of interest are within walking distance of each other, so staying in the city is quite convenient. For students coming to Macedonia for education, there are many options such as rooms for rent and apartments. Students can also choose student dormitories for accommodation. However, since rents are very low, especially compared with our country, students from our country who go to Macedonia to study at university generally prefer renting a home. Rents vary between 800 and 1200 Turkish lira per month.

Taking into account our students’ requests, preferences and sensitivities on this matter, we provide solutions in coordination with our partner schools.
